Customer Agreement
Part 1 - General
1.1 Definitions
Customer-set-up Machine is an IBM Machine that you install according
to our instructions. Date of Installation is the following:
1. for an IBM Machine we are responsible for installing, the business day
after the day we install it or, if you defer installation, make it
available to you for subsequent installation by us;
2. for a Customer-set-up Machine and a non-IBM Machine, the second
business day after the Machine's standard transit allowance period;
and
3. for a Program, the latest of -
a. the day after its testing period ends,
b. the second business day after the Program's standard transit
allowance period, or
c. the date, specified in a Transaction Document, on which we
authorize you to make a copy of the Program, or
d. the date you distribute a copy of a chargeable component in
support of your authorized use of the Program.
Designated Machine is either 1) the machine on which you will use a
Program for processing and which we require you to identify to us by
type/model and serial number, or 2) any machine on which you use the
Program if we do not require you to provide this identification to
us.
Enterprise is any legal entity (such as a corporation) and the subsidiaries
it owns by more than 50 percent. The term "Enterprise" applies only to the
portion of the enterprise located in the United States or Puerto Rico.
Machine is a machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or
accessories, or any combination of them. The term "Machine" includes an IBM
Machine and any non-IBM Machine (including other equipment) that we may
provide to you.
Materials are literary works or other works of authorship (such as
programs, program listings, programming tools, documentation, reports,
drawings and similar works) that we may deliver to you as part of a
Service. The term "Materials" does not include Programs or Licensed
Internal Code.
Product is a Machine or a Program.
Program is the following, including the original and all whole or partial
copies:
1. machine-readable instructions and data;
2. components;
3. audio-visual content (such as images, text, recordings, or pictures);
and
4. related licensed materials.
The term "Program" includes an IBM Program and any non-IBM Program that we
may provide to you. The term does not include Licensed Internal Code or
Materials.
Service is performance of a task, provision of advice and counsel,
assistance, or access to a resource (such as access to an information
database) we make available to you.
Specifications is a document that provides information specific to a
Product. For an IBM Machine, we call the document "Official Published
Specifications." For an IBM Program, we call it "Licensed Program
Specifications," or "License Information."
-119-
Specified Operating Environment is the Machines and Programs with which a
Program is designed to operate, as described in the Program's
Specifications.
1.2 Agreement Structure
Attachments
Some Products and Services have terms in addition to those we specify in
this Agreement. We provide the additional terms in documents called
"Attachments," which are also part of this Agreement. Attachments will be
signed by both of us if requested by either of us.
Transaction Documents
For each business transaction, we will provide you with the appropriate
"Transaction Documents" that confirm the specific details of the
transaction. Transaction Documents will be signed by both of us if
requested by either of us. The following are examples of Transaction
Documents with examples of the information they may contain:
1. addenda (contract-period duration, start date, and total quantity);
2. exhibits (eligible Products by category);
3. invoices (item, quantity, and amount due);
4. statements of work (scope of Services, responsibilities, deliverables,
completion criteria, estimated schedule or contract period, and
charges); and
5. supplements (Machine quantity and type ordered, price, estimated
shipment date, and warranty period).
Conflicting Terms
If there is a conflict among the terms in the various documents, those of
an Attachment prevail over those of this Agreement. The terms of a
Transaction Document prevail over those of both of these documents.
Our Acceptance of Your Order
A Product or Service becomes subject to this Agreement when we accept your
order by doing any of the following:
1. sending you a Transaction Document;
2. shipping the Machine or making the Program available to you; or
3. providing the Service.
Your Acceptance of Additional Terms
You accept the additional terms in an Attachment or Transaction Document by
doing any of the following:
1. signing the Attachment or Transaction Document;
2. using the Product or Service, or allowing others to do so; or
3. making any payment for the Product or Service.
-120-
1.3 Delivery
We will try to meet your delivery requirements for Products and
Services you order, and will inform you of their status.
Transportation charges, if applicable, will be specified in a
Transaction Document.
1.4 Charges and Payment
The amount payable for a Product or Service will be based on one or
more of the following types of charges:
1. one-time (for example, the price of a Machine);
2. recurring (for example, a periodic charge for Programs or measured use
of Services);
3. time and materials (for example, charges for hourly Services); or
4. fixed price (for example, a specific amount agreed to between
us for a custom Service).
Depending on the particular Product, Service, or circumstance, additional
charges may apply (such as special handling or travel related expenses). We
will inform you in advance whenever additional charges apply.
Recurring charges for a Product begin on its Date of Installation. Charges
for Services are billed as we specify which may be in advance, periodically
during the performance of the Service, or after the Service is completed.
Amounts are due upon receipt of invoice and payable as we specify in a
Transaction Document. You agree to pay accordingly, including any late
payment fee.
If any authority imposes a duty, tax, levy, or fee, excluding those based
on our net income, upon any transaction under this Agreement, then you
agree to pay that amount as specified in the invoice or supply exemption
documentation. You are responsible for personal property taxes for each
Product from the date we ship it to you.
One-time and recurring charges may be based on measurements of actual or
authorized use (for example, number of users or processor size for
Programs, meter readings for maintenance Services, or connect time for
network Services). You agree to provide actual usage data if we specify. If
you make changes to your environment that impact use charges (for example,
change processor size or configuration for Programs), you agree to promptly
notify us and pay any applicable charges. Recurring charges will be
adjusted accordingly. Unless we agree otherwise, we do not give credits or
refunds for charges already due or paid. In the event that we change the
basis of measurement, our terms for changing charges will apply.
We may increase recurring charges for Products and Services, as well as
labor rates and minimums for Services provided under this Agreement, by
giving you three months' written notice. An increase applies on the first
day of the invoice or charging period on or after the effective date we
specify in the notice.
We may increase one-time charges without notice. However, an increase to
one-time charges does not apply to you if 1) we receive your order before
the announcement date of the increase and 2) one of the following occurs
within three months after our receipt of your order:
1. we ship you the Machine or make the Program available to you;
2. you make an authorized copy of a Program or distribute a chargeable
component of a Program to another Machine; or
3. a Program's increased use charge becomes due. You receive the benefit
of a decrease in charges for amounts which become due on or after the
effective date of the decrease. Services for which you prepay must be
used within the applicable contract period. Unless we specify
otherwise, we do not give credits or refunds for unused prepaid
Services.
-121-
1.5 Changes to the Agreement Terms
In order to maintain flexibility in our business relationship, we may
change the terms of this Agreement by giving you three months'
written notice. However, these changes are not retroactive. They
apply, as of the effective date we specify in the notice, only to new
orders and on-going transactions (such as licenses, except that
changes to license termination terms are effective only for new
orders). Part 5 of this Agreement contains additional provisions for
changes to the terms of individual Service transactions.
Otherwise, for a change to be valid, both of us must sign it.
Additional or different terms in any written communication from you
(such as an order) are void.
1.6 IBM Business Partners
We have signed agreements with certain organizations (called "IBM
Business Partners") to promote, market, and support certain Products
and Services. When you order our Products or Services (marketed to
you by IBM Business Partners) under this Agreement, we confirm that
we are responsible for providing the Products or Services to you
under the warranties and other terms of this Agreement. We are not
responsible for 1) the actions of IBM Business Partners, 2) any
additional obligations they have to you, or 3) any products or
services that they supply to you under their agreements.
1.7 Mutual Responsibilities
Both of us agree that under this Agreement:
1. neither of us grants the other the right to use its trademarks, trade
names, or other designations in any promotion or publication without
prior written consent;
2. all information exchanged is nonconfidential. If either of us requires
the exchange of confidential information, it will be made under a
signed confidentiality agreement;
3. each is free to enter into similar agreements with others;
4. each grants the other only the licenses and rights specified. No other
licenses or rights (including licenses or rights under patents) are
granted;
5. each may communicate with the other by electronic means and such
communication is acceptable as a signed writing. An identification
code (called a "user ID") contained in an electronic document is
legally sufficient to verify the sender's identity and the document's
authenticity;
6. each will allow the other reasonable opportunity to comply before it
claims that the other has not met its obligations;
7. neither of us will bring a legal action more than two years after the
cause of action arose; and
8. neither of us is responsible for failure to fulfill any obligations
due to causes beyond its control.
1.8 Your Other Responsibilities
You agree:
1. not to assign, or otherwise transfer, this Agreement or your rights
under this Agreement, delegate your obligations, or resell any
Service, without our prior written consent. Any attempt to do so is
void;
2. to acquire Machines with the intent to use them within your Enterprise
and not for reselling, leasing, or transferring to a third party,
unless either of the following applies:
a. you are arranging lease-back financing for the Machines, or
b. you purchase them without any discount or allowance, and do not
remarket them in competition with our authorized remarketers;
-122-
3. to allow us to install mandatory engineering changes (such as those
required for safety) on a Machine. Any parts we remove become our
property. You represent that you have the permission from the owner
and any lien holders to transfer ownership and possession of removed
parts to us;
4. that you are responsible for the results obtained from the use of the
Products and Services;
5. to provide us with sufficient, free, and safe access to your
facilities for us to fulfill our obligations; and
6. to comply with all applicable export and import laws and regulations.
1.9 Patents and Copyrights
For purposes of this Section, the term "Product" includes Materials
(alone or in combination with Products we provide to you as a system)
and Licensed Internal Code.
If a third party claims that a Product we provide to you infringes that
party's patent or copyright, we will defend you against that claim at our
expense and pay all costs, damages, and attorney's fees that a court
finally awards, provided that you:
1. promptly notify us in writing of the claim; and
2. allow us to control, and cooperate with us in, the defense and any
related settlement negotiations.
If such a claim is made or appears likely to be made, you agree to permit
us to enable you to continue to use the Product, or to modify it, or
replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent. If we
determine that none of these alternatives is reasonably available, you
agree to return the Product to us on our written request. We will then give
you a credit equal to:
1. for a Machine, your net book value provided you have followed
generally-accepted accounting
principles;
2. for a Program, the amount paid by you or 12 months' charges (whichever
is less); and
3. for Materials, the amount you paid us for the Materials. This is our
entire obligation to you regarding any claim of infringement.
Claims for Which We are Not Responsible
We have no obligation regarding any claim based on any of the following:
1. anything you provide which is incorporated into a Product;
2. your modification of a Product, or a Program's use in other than its
Specified Operating Environment;
3. the combination, operation, or use of a Product with other Products
not provided by us as a system, or the combination, operation, or use
of a Product with any product, data, or apparatus that we did not
provide; or
4. infringement by a non-IBM Product alone, as opposed to its combination
with Products we provide to you as a system.
1.10 Limitation of Liability
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on our part or
other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from us. In each
such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to
claim damages from us (including fundamental breach, negligence,
misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), we are liable
for no more than:
1. payments referred to in our patents and copyrights terms described
above;
-123-
2. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real
property and tangible personal property; and
3. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the greater of
$100,000 or the charges (if recurring, 12 months' charges apply) for
the Product or Service that is the subject of the claim. For purposes
of this item, the term "Product" includes Materials and Licensed
Internal Code. This limit also applies to any of our subcontractors
and Program developers. It is the maximum for which we and our
subcontractors and Program developers are collectively responsible.
Items for Which We are Not Liable
Under no circumstances are we, our subcontractors, or Program
developers liable for any of the following:
1. third-party claims against you for damages (other than those under the
first two items listed above);
2. loss of, or damage to, your records or data; or
3. special, incidental, or indirect damages or for any economic
consequential damages (including lost profits or savings), even if we
are informed of their possibility.
1.11 Agreement Termination
You may terminate this Agreement on written notice to us following
the expiration or termination of your obligations.
Either of us may terminate this Agreement if the other does not
comply with any of its terms, provided the one who is not complying
is given written notice and reasonable time to comply. Any terms of
this Agreement which by their nature extend beyond the Agreement
termination remain in effect until fulfilled, and apply to both of
our respective successors and assignees.
1.12 Geographic Scope
All your rights, all our obligations, and all licenses (except for
Licensed Internal Code and as specifically granted) are valid only in
the United States and Puerto Rico.
1.13 Governing Law
The laws of the State of New York govern this Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement affects any statutory rights of consumers
that cannot be waived or limited by contract.
-124-
Customer Agreement
Part 2 - Warranties
2.1 The IBM Warranties
Warranty for IBM Machines For each IBM Machine, we warrant that it:
1. is free from defects in materials and workmanship; and
2. conforms to its Specifications.
The warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period
commencing on its Date of Installation. During the warranty period,
we provide repair and exchange Service for the Machine, without
charge, under the type of Service we designate for the Machine.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty
period and we are unable to either 1) make it do so, or 2) replace it
with one that is at least functionally equivalent, you may return it
to us and we will refund your money.
Additional terms regarding Service for Machines during and after the
warranty period are contained in Part 5.
Warranty for IBM Programs
For each warranted IBM Program, we warrant that when it is used in
the Specified Operating Environment, it will conform to its
Specifications. The warranty period for a Program expires when its
Program Services are no longer available. During the warranty period,
we provide defect-related Program Services without charge. Program
Services are available for a warranted Program for at least one year
following its general availability.
If a Program does not function as warranted during the first year
after you obtain your license and we are unable to make it do so, you
may return the Program to us and we will refund your money. To be
eligible, you must have obtained your license while Program Services
(regardless of the remaining duration) were available for it.
Additional terms regarding Program Services are contained in Part 4.
Warranty for IBM Services
For each IBM Service, we warrant that we perform it:
1. using reasonable care and skill; and
2. according to its current description ( including any
completion criteria) contained in this Agreement, an Attachment,
or a Transaction Document.
Warranty for Systems
Where we provide Products to you as a system, we warrant that they
are compatible and will operate with one another. This warranty is in
addition to our other applicable warranties.
2.2 Extent of Warranty
If a Machine is subject to federal or state consumer warranty laws,
our statement of limited warranty included with the Machine applies
in place of these Machine warranties.
-125-
The warranties will be voided by misuse, accident, modification,
unsuitable physical or operating environment, operation in other than
the Specified Operating Environment, improper maintenance by you,
removal or alteration of Product or parts identification labels, or
failure caused by a product for which we are not responsible.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
2.3 Items Not Covered by Warranty
We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Product
or Service or that we will correct all defects. We will identify IBM
Products that we do not warrant.
Unless we specify otherwise, we provide Materials, non-IBM Products,
and non-IBM Services WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. However, non-IBM
manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers may provide their own
warranties to you.
-126-
Customer Agreement
Part 3 - Machines
3.1 Title and Risk of Loss
When we accept your order, we agree to sell you the Machine described
in a Transaction Document. We transfer title to you or, if you
choose, your lessor when we ship the Machine. However, we reserve a
purchase money security interest in the Machine until we receive the
amounts due. For a feature, conversion, or upgrade involving the
removal of parts which become our property, we reserve the security
interest until we receive the amounts due and the removed parts. You
agree to sign an appropriate document to permit us to perfect our
purchase money security interest. We bear the risk of loss for the
Machine up to and including its Date of Installation. Thereafter, you
assume the risk.
3.2 Production Status
Each IBM Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used
parts. In some cases, a Machine may not be new and may have been
previously installed. Regardless of a Machine's production status,
our appropriate warranty terms apply.
3.3 Installation
For the Machine to function properly, it must be installed in a
suitable physical environment. You agree to provide an environment
meeting the specified requirements for the Machine. We have standard
installation procedures. We will successfully complete these
procedures before we consider an IBM Machine (other than a Machine
for which you defer installation or a Customer- set-up Machine)
installed.
You are responsible for installing a Customer-set-up Machine (we
provide instructions to enable you to do so) and a non-IBM Machine.
Machine Features, Conversions, and Upgrades
We sell features, conversions, and upgrades for installation on
Machines, and, in certain instances, only for installation on a
designated, serial-numbered Machine. Many of these transactions
involve the removal of parts and their return to us. As applicable,
you represent that you have the permission from the owner and any
lien holders to 1) install features, conversions, and upgrades and 2)
transfer ownership and possession of removed parts (which become our
property) to us. You further represent that all removed parts are
genuine and unaltered, and in good working order. A part that
replaces a removed part will assume the warranty or maintenance
Service status of the replaced part. You agree to allow us to install
the feature, conversion, or upgrade within 30 days of its delivery.
Otherwise, we may terminate the transaction and you must return the
feature, conversion, or upgrade to us at your expense.
3.4 Licensed Internal Code
Certain Machines we specify (called "Specific Machines") use Licensed
Internal Code (called "Code"). We own copyrights in Code or have the
right to license Code. We or a third party own all copies of Code,
including all copies made from them.
We will identify each Specific Machine in a Transaction Document. If
you are the rightful possessor of a Specific Machine, we grant you a
license to use the Code (or any replacement we provide) on, or in
conjunction with, only the Specific Machine, designated by serial
-127-
number, for which the Code is provided. We license the Code to only
one rightful possessor at a time.
Under each license, we authorize you to do only the following:
1. execute the Code to enable the Specific Machine to function
according to its Specifications;
2. make a backup or archival copy of the Code (unless we make one
available for your use), provided you reproduce the copyright
notice and any other legend of ownership on the copy. You may use
the copy only to replace the original, when necessary; and
3. execute and display the Code as necessary to maintain the
Specific Machine. You agree to acquire any replacement for, or
additional copy of, Code directly from us in accordance with our
standard policies and practices. You also agree to use that Code
under these terms. You may transfer possession of the Code to
another party only with the transfer of the Specific Machine. If
you do so, you must 1) destroy all your copies of the Code that
were not provided by us, 2) either give the other party all your
IBM-provided copies of the Code or destroy them, and 3) notify
the other party of these terms. We license the other party when
it accepts these terms by initial use of the Code. These terms
apply to all Code you acquire from any source. Your license
terminates when you no longer rightfully possess the Specific
Machine.
Actions You May Not Take
You agree to use the Code only as authorized above. You may not do,
for example, any of the following:
1. otherwise copy, display, transfer, adapt, modify, or distribute
the Code (electronically or otherwise), except as we may
authorize in the Specific Machine's Specifications or in writing
to you;
2. reverse assemble, reverse compile, or otherwise translate the
Code unless expressly permitted by applicable law without the
possibility of contractual waiver;
3. sublicense or assign the license for the Code; or
4. lease the Code or any copy of it.
3.5 Machine Code
For certain Machines we may provide basic input/output system code,
utilities, diagnostics, device drivers, or microcode (collectively
called "Machine Code"). This Machine Code is licensed under the terms
of the agreement provided with it.
-128-
Customer Agreement
Part 4 - Programs
4.1 License
When we accept your order, we grant you a non-exclusive,
nontransferable license to use the Program. Programs are owned by
International Business Machines Corporation or one of its
subsidiaries ("IBM") or an IBM supplier and are copyrighted and
licensed (not sold).
4.2 License Details
Under each license, we authorize you to:
1. use the Program's machine-readable portion on only the Designated
Machine. If the Designated Machine is inoperable, you may use
another Machine temporarily. If the Designated Machine cannot
assemble or compile the Program, you may assemble or compile the
Program on another Machine.
If you change a Designated Machine previously identified to us,
you agree to notify us of the change and its effective date;
2. use the Program to the extent of authorizations you have
acquired;
3. make and install copies of the Program, to support the level of
use authorized, provided you reproduce the copyright notices and
any other legends of ownership on each copy or partial copy; and
4. use any portion of the Program we 1) provide in source form, or
2) xxxx restricted (for example, "Restricted Materials of IBM")
only to -
a. resolve problems related to the use of the Program, and
b. modify the Program so that it will work together with other
products. You agree to comply with any additional terms we
may place on a Program. We identify these in the Program's
Specifications or in a Transaction Document.
Actions You May Not Take
You agree not to:
1. reverse assemble, reverse compile, or otherwise translate the
Program; or
2. sublicense, rent or lease the Program.
4.3 Program Components Not Used on the Designated Machine
Some Programs have components that are designed for use on machines
other than the Designated Machine on which the Program is used. You
may make copies of a component and its documentation in support of
your authorized use of the Program provided you notify us of the
component's actual date of distribution.
4.4 Distributed System License Option
For some Programs, you may make a copy under a Distributed System
License Option (called a "DSLO" copy). We charge less for a DSLO copy
than we do for the original license (called the "Basic" license). In
return for the lesser charge, you agree to do the following while
licensed under a DSLO:
1. have a Basic license for the Program;
-129-
2. provide problem documentation and receive Program Services (if
any) only through the location of the Basic license; and
3. distribute to, and install on, the DSLO's Designated Machine, any
release, correction, or bypass that we provide for the Basic
license.
4.5 Program Testing
We provide a testing period for certain Programs to help you evaluate
if they meet your needs. If we offer a testing period, it will start
1) the second business day after the Program's standard transit
allowance period, or 2) on another date specified in a Transaction
Document. We will inform you of the duration of the Program's testing
period.
We do not provide testing periods for DSLO copies.
4.6 Packaged Programs
We provide certain Programs together with their own license
agreements. These Programs are licensed under the terms of the
agreements provided with them.
4.7 Program Protection
For each Program, you agree to:
1. ensure that anyone who uses it (accessed either locally or
remotely) does so only for your authorized use and complies with
our terms regarding Programs; and
2. maintain a record of all copies and provide it to us at our
request.
4.8 Program Services
We provide Program Services for warranted Programs and for selected
other Programs. If we can reproduce your reported problem in the
Specified Operating Environment, we will issue defect correction
information, a restriction, or a bypass. We provide Program Services
for only the unmodified portion of a current release of a Program.
We provide Program Services 1) on an on-going basis (with at least
six months' written notice before we terminate Program Services), 2)
until the date we specify, or 3) for a period we specify.
4.9 License Termination
You may terminate the license for a Program on one month's written
notice or at any time during the Program's testing period. Licenses
for certain replacement Programs may be acquired for an upgrade
charge. When you acquire these replacement Programs, you agree to
terminate the license of the replaced Programs when charges become
due, unless we specify otherwise.
We may terminate your license if you fail to comply with its terms.
If we do so, your authorization to use the Program is also
terminated.

Part 5 - Services
5.1 IBM Services
Services may be either standard offerings or customized to your
specific requirements. Each service transaction may include one or
more Services that:
1. expire at task completion or an agreed upon date;
2. automatically renew as another transaction with a specified
contract period. Renewals will continue until either of us
terminates the Service; or
3. do not expire and are available for your use until either of us
terminates the Service.
5.2 Personnel
Each of us is responsible for the supervision, direction, and control
of our respective personnel. We reserve the right to determine the
assignment of our personnel. We may subcontract a Service, or any
part of it, to subcontractors selected by us.
5.3 Materials Ownership and License
We will specify Materials to be delivered to you. We will identify
them as being "Type I Materials," "Type II Materials," or otherwise
as we both agree. If not specified, Materials will be considered Type
II Materials.
Type I Materials are those, created during the Service performance
period, in which you will have all right, title, and interest
(including ownership of copyright). We will retain one copy of the
Materials. You grant us 1) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide,
paid-up license to use, execute, reproduce, display, perform,
distribute (internally and externally) copies of, and prepare
derivative works based on Type I Materials and 2) the right to
authorize others to do any of the former. Type II Materials are
those, created during the Service performance period or otherwise
(such as those that preexist the Service), in which we or third
parties have all right, title, and interest (including ownership of
copyright). We will deliver one copy of the specified Materials to
you. We grant you an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide, paid-up
license to use, execute, reproduce, display, perform, and distribute,
within your Enterprise only, copies of Type II Materials. Each of us
agrees to reproduce the copyright notice and any other legend of

Section.
Any idea, concept, know-how, or technique which relates to the
subject matter of a Service and is developed or provided by either of
us, or jointly by both of us, in the performance of a Service may
(subject to applicable patents an copyrights) be freely used by
either of us.
5.4 Changes to Service Terms
We may change the terms of Services that are renewable or
non-expiring by giving you three months' written notice. However,
these changes are not retroactive. They apply immediately to renewal
transactions and as of the effective date we specify in the notice to
all existing transactions. If we make a change to the terms of a
renewable Service that 1) affects your current contract period and 2)
you consider unfavorable, on your request, we will defer it until the
end of that contract period.
-131-
When both of us agree to change any Services statement of work other
than as described above, we will prepare a written description of the
agreed change (called a "Change Authorization"), which both of us
must sign. The terms of a Change Authorization prevail over those of
the statement of work and any previous Change Authorizations.
5.5 Renewal
Renewable Services renew automatically for a same length contract
period unless either of us provides written notification (at least
one month prior to the end of the current contract period) to the
other of their decision not to renew.
5.6 Termination and Withdrawal
Either of us may terminate a Service if the other does not meet its
obligations concerning the Service. You may terminate a non-expiring
Service, without adjustment charge, on one month's written notice to
us provided you have met all minimum requirements specified in the
applicable Attachments and Transaction Documents.
You may terminate a renewable Service or a non-expiring maintenance
Service, without adjustment charge, on notice to us provided you have
met all minimum requirements specified in the applicable Attachments
and Transaction Documents and any of the following circumstances
occur:
1. you permanently remove the eligible Product, for which the
Service is provided, from productive use within your Enterprise;
2. the eligible location, for which Service is provided, is no
longer controlled by you (for example, because of sale or closing
of the facility);
3. an increase in the Service charges, either alone or in
combination with prior increases over the previous twelve months,
is more than the maximum specified in the applicable Service
Transaction Document. If no maximum is specified, then this
circumstance does not apply; or
4. the Machine has been under maintenance Services for at least six
months and you give us one month's written notice prior to
terminating the maintenance Service.
For all other circumstances, you may terminate an expiring or
renewable Service on one month's written notice to us but such
termination will result in adjustment charges equal to the lesser of:
1. the charges remaining to complete the contract period; or
2. one of the following if specified in the Transaction Document --
a. the charges remaining to complete the contract period
multiplied by the adjustment factor specified, or
b. the amount specified.
You agree to pay us for all Services we provide and any Products and
Materials we deliver through Service termination and any charges we
incur in terminating subcontractors. We may withdraw a renewable or
non-expiring Service or support for an eligible Product on three
months' written notice to you. If we withdraw a Service for which you
have prepaid and we have not yet fully provided it to you, we will
give you a prorated refund. Any terms which by their nature extend
beyond termination or withdrawal remain in effect until fulfilled and
apply to respective successors and assignees.
5.7 Services for Machines (during and after warranty)
We provide certain types of repair and exchange Service either at
your location or at a service center to keep Machines in, or restore
them to conformance with their Specifications. We will inform you of
the available types of Service for a Machine. We may repair the
failing Machine or exchange it at our discretion.
-132-
When the type of Service requires that you deliver the failing
Machine to us, you agree to ship it suitably packaged (prepaid unless
we specify otherwise) to a location we designate. After we have
repaired or exchanged the Machine, we will return it to you at our
expense unless we specify otherwise. We are responsible for loss of,
or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in our possession or 2) in
transit in those cases where we are responsible for the
transportation charges. You agree to:
1. obtain authorization from the owner to have us service a Machine
that you do not own; and
2. where applicable, before we provide Service --
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and
service request procedures that we provide,
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,
and
c. inform us of changes in a Machine's location.
When Service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item we
replace becomes our property and the replacement becomes yours. You
represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The
replacement may not be new, but it will be in good working order and
at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The
replacement assumes the warranty or maintenance Service status of the
replaced item. Before we exchange a Machine or part, you agree to
remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not
under our service. You also agree to ensure that the item is free of
any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange. Any
feature, conversion, or upgrade we service must be installed on a
Machine which is 1) for certain Machines, the designated,
serial-numbered Machine and 2) at an engineering-change level
compatible with the feature, conversion, or upgrade.
Repair and exchange Services do not cover:
1. accessories, supply items, and certain parts, such as batteries,
frames, and covers;
2. Machines damaged by misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable
physical or operating environment, improper maintenance by you;
3. Machines with removed or altered Machine or parts identification
labels;
4. failures caused by a product for which we are not responsible; or
5. service of Machine alterations.
We manage and install engineering changes that apply to IBM Machines
and may also perform preventative maintenance. We provide maintenance
Services for selected non-IBM Machines.
5.8 Maintenance Coverage
When you order Machine maintenance Services under this Agreement, we
will inform you of the date on which maintenance Services will begin.
We may inspect the Machine within one month following that date. If
the Machine is not in an acceptable condition for service, you may
have us restore it for a charge. Alternatively, you may withdraw your
request for maintenance Service. However, you will be charged for any
maintenance Services which we performed at your request.
After signing, please return a copy of this Agreement to the local "IBM
address" shown above.

1.0 Executive Summary
There exists an agreement between Surgical Safety Products (SSP/OASiS) and
International Business Machines (IBM) for the Oasis TouchPort 2K Project
consisting of a Statement of Work (SOW) under the terms of the IBM Customer
Agreement (ICA) # AVWJ907. Full Acceptance of this Agreement shall be known as
the date of final SSP/OASiS Board of Directors approval. Board of Director's
Approval was granted on January 3rd, 2000. IBM has begun work per the Statement
of Work under the terms of the IBM Customer Agreement. The intent of the parties
is that IBM would be providing a complete implementation and support services
solution for 1,200 Oasis TouchPort terminals (kiosks) at an estimated 400
SSP/OASiS end user locations during the 12 month period that started November
29th, 1999. Based on a recent meeting between SSP and IBM and considering the 19
terms and conditions issues in Mr. Xxx Xxxxxx'x memo, a Project Change Request
(PCR or Amendment) is appropriate to the original SOW to more clearly define the
intent of the parties.
A copy of the SSP/OASiS executed IBM Customer Agreement (ICA) was faxed to Mr.
Xxx Xxxxxx, council for SSP/OASiS, on December 16th, 1999.
A Project Change Request (PCR #1) is entered into this 3rd day of February, 2000
by and between International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM") and Surgical
Safety Products, Inc. ("SSP" or "SSP/OASiS") to modify the original IBM
Statement of Work (SOW).
All aspects of this agreement, including all services to be performed and fees
for same are subject to the mutual agreement between IBM and SSP which shall be
memorialized in writing prior to the undertaking of any tasks, incurring of any
fees, or expenditure of any monies. Nothing contained herein shall be construed
as creating an exclusive arrangement for IBM to provide the services and
equipment contemplated hereunder. Any tasks or services to be performed shall be
initiated by a written "SSP Work Authorization" to be signed by IBM and
SSP/OASiS prior to undertaking any such services or tasks. The "Work
Authorization" form (see attached) will disclose any travel and living expenses
that may be billed to SSP/OASiS.
Agreement/Proposal. This Agreement/Proposal is made and entered into by and
between INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION (hereinafter sometimes
referred to as "IBM" or "IBM Global Services") and SURGICAL SAFETY PRODUCTS,
INC. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "SSP" or "SSP/OASIS"). Appendix D
sets forth the signatures of the parties to this Agreement.
SSP/OASiS and International Business Machines Corporation are finalizing
and will continue to refine a business relationship to deploy the OASiS
TouchPort systems to SSP/OASiS end-customers throughout the United States.
The intent of this Statement of Work is to define the initial stages of
this relationship and to leverage the capabilities of each of our
respective organizations to provide a high quality solution that is
seamless to a wide variety of health care organizations.
IBM Global Services proposes to provide a methodology based upon Project
Management Institute (PMI) principles to SSP/OASiS for the management of
the projects within the United States. This Project Management function
will provide a base Project Office to be located at the Sarasota SSP/OASiS
facility. The function proposed by IBM is to staff a core group of project
management and network professionals that understand the SSP/OASiS product
set and will engage IBM resources for each end client installation. It is
understood
-136-
that each of these installations will be customized and the IBM team will
work with SSP/OASiS to determine the necessary requirements for each. The
IBM solution is to develop a Project Office based on SSP/OASiS requirements
that will ensure each project installation has the following:
Project Planning Premises Wiring
Site Surveys TouchPort Implementations
Product Acquisition Help Desk Support
Network Design Consulting Services
Web Site Hosting Services
The IBM Project Office will identify and engage the necessary engineering
resources for each location to develop the plan for primary and secondary
TouchPort implementations. These tasks will be jointly coordinated with
SSP/OASiS as each opportunity is identified and developed. IBM will provide
the resources to provide a seamless solution to each health care facility.
IBM will coordinate all activities related to deployment and installation.
This approach is predicated on the execution of at least eight pilot
TouchPort installations. The Implementation and Support Project Plan will
be refined and modified as required to drive efficiency and reduce cost.
IBM has the experience, technical resources, processes, and tools to mange
the day to day implementation and operational tasks and issues involved in
a technology rollout of this nature. This approach will free up valuable
SSP/OASiS resources to focus on the tasks of TouchPort placements,
establishing additional content agreements, and market development.
The ultimate goal of the IBM Project Office is to provide a Central Point
of Contact for SSP/OASiS for deployment and support requirements for each
location and to deploy the required resources as defined by the Project,
all under a pre-defined methodology for each installation. IBM proposes
this functional staffing and organization for a 3 to 6 month period and
adjust resources and costs based upon past project experiences and business
forecasts. The Project Change Request process will be utilized to make all
necessary adjustments as mutually agreed upon by both of us.
1.1 Background
SSP/OASiS requires assistance in the design, deployment and support of their
OASiS TouchPort 2K system. IBM Global Services has the geographic
scope and personnel to provide this critical assistance to
SSP/OASiS. IBM Global Services can provide the IT infrastructure
necessary for SSP/OASiS to go to market with their products and
solutions for the health industry.
-137-
1.2 Approach
Effective Project Management is crucial to the success of Surgical Safety's
OASiS TouchPort 2K Infrastructure. For many years IBM has been successful
in complex system integration projects because we apply three essential
skills:
Ability to effectively and professionally manage people and the overall
project
Ability to match technical skills to specific work tasks
Ability to plan and integrate hardware and software to provide sound
solutions
To help SSP/OASiS successfully implement the OASiS TouchPort, IBM
will utilize:
Proven project management techniques
Proven change control procedures
A disciplined approach and detailed project plan
IBM professionals trained in IBM's methodologies for project management
Subject Matter Experts to provide the required technical know-how to
accomplish project tasks.
The successful completion of any project depends on the careful execution
of a well structured and detailed plan. The project installation plan must
be developed based on agreed to objectives and well defined goals. The
project plan will be developed jointly by IBM and SSP/OASiS, including
schedules, processes, and dependencies. This plan will be used to control
the project, monitor all activities, track progress, and manage change
control. The success of the project will be measured against the defined
objectives and the successful implementation of the project plan. By having
a detailed plan, problems or changes can be promptly identified and
resolved.
Serving as a focal point, IBM will assign a lead Project Executive to be
responsible for the overall success of the project. In addition to the PE,
IBM will assign a Project Manager who will manage communications with
SSP/OASiS's Project Manger, and coordinate the activities of IBM,
subcontractors, and suppliers. The IBM Project Manager will work closely
with the Surgical Safety's Project Manager to develop a project plan that
satisfies the goals and objectives of SSP/OASiS. The IBM Project manager
will provide reports and updates on the IBM and subcontractor activities
related to the project.
-138-
Recognizing that the scope of the project may require changes, IBM employs
a formal change control procedure. This proven approach will allow
SSP/OASiS to make cost and benefit tradeoffs based on an analysis of
requested changes. Project Change Requests (PCR) will be the vehicle for
communicating change. PCRs describe the requested change, the rational for
change, and the effect the change will have on the project. Appendix B
describes the PCR process to be used in conjunction with this Statement of
Work.
1.3 Staffing
IBM will provide a Project Office team to assist SSP/OASiS with the
management of the OASiS TouchPort 2K. The Project Office team members will
fluctuate based on the project schedule. It is anticipated that the IBM
Project Office team will nominally consist of six (6) members in the
following roles:
Project Executive (1)
Project Manager (1)
Project Support Coordinator (1)
Project Support Administrator (1)
Network Subject Matter Experts (1-2)
These roles will be staffed based on the requirements of the project
schedule. Additional project office personnel may be added to address
additional project requirements. 2.0 Statement of Work This Statement of
Work defines the scope of work to be accomplished by IBM under the terms
and conditions of the IBM Customer Agreement (Agreement). The tasks to be
performed by IBM are defined and an estimated schedule is provided. In
addition, the responsibilities of SSP/OASiS are listed.
Changes to this Statement of Work will be processed in accordance with the
procedure described in "Appendix B. "Project Change Control Procedure". The
investigation and the implementation of changes may result in modifications
to the Estimated Schedule, Charges, and/or other terms of the Agreement.
The following are incorporated in and made part of this Statement of Work:
Appendix A "Deliverable Guidelines"
Appendix B "Project Change Control Procedure"
Appendix C "Hardware/Software"

during the proposed project will be managed through the procedure described
in "Appendix B. Project Change Control Procedure".
IBM will provide and staff an IBM Project Office for SSP/OASiS, which may be
remote to SSP/OASiS and the TouchPort "installed at" locations. The IBM Project
Office will manage pre- and post-implementation issues including after
installation end user support (help desk) problem escalations concerning the
availability (uptime) of each TouchPort.
IBM will provide Level 1 & 2 End User Support Services (help desk), 24hr x7 day
coverage, via IBM provided toll free call-in number. End User Support staffing
will be matched to call volumes. All Level 3 problems will be escalated to the
SSP/OASiS support staff in Sarasota, FL.
-140-
IBM will provide "hot swap" depot hardware replacement and repair services after
installation, at any TouchPort "installed at" location covered by this agreement
and serviced next day by UPS, Federal Express or Airborne with coverage to be
next business day. IBM will provide an on-site technician to perform the swap
out. "Installed at" locations not serviced by these express delivery service
providers will be serviced by IBM on a best efforts basis. IBM's target
objective, for covered devices, for repair or replacement of a failed TouchPort,
TouchPort peripheral, data network cabling, or network related hardware is 72
hrs or less.
IBM will xxxx SSP/OASiS a monthly service charge (MSC) for the above described
support services according to Scenarios "A", "B", and "C" schedule of charges
